Conga inherited Apttus’s complexity and Salesforce dependency. You’re paying enterprise pricing for a platform that still requires consultants to maintain. TailorStack builds a CPQ system designed for your pricing logic from scratch — no legacy constraints.
Conga’s Apttus heritage means deep Salesforce dependency — if you’re moving off Salesforce, the CPQ has to go too.
Implementation projects routinely take 4–6 months and require specialised Conga/Apttus consultants at premium rates.
Document generation templates are powerful but brittle — small changes break output formatting across templates.
The platform’s complexity means your team can’t make pricing or catalogue changes without admin expertise.
Annual licensing plus consultant retainers push total cost well beyond the sticker price.
What you get instead
A clean-build CPQ system with no legacy platform dependencies. Your exact pricing model implemented from the ground up. Self-service catalogue management your team can update without consultants. Document generation that produces consistently formatted PDFs, quotes, and contracts. Works with any CRM. Deployed in 4–6 weeks for a fixed price.
